5.0 out of 5 stars Britpop Classic - Absolutely Gorgeous!, July 23, 2000

I was very lucky to be living in the UK in the mid 1990's when a new surge of British guitar pop began to receive general airplay on a newly rejuvenated BBC Radio One. It was a genuinely exciting time to be a music fan as there was a widespread feeling that this era was producing truly classic albums to compare to the best from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

The Britpop bands unashamedly borrowed the best bits from the best British bands of the previous three decades and combined them to form a cocktail of pure commercial pop ecstasy. My top five, after five years of repeated listening, would be Dodgy (Homegrown), Boo Radley's (Wake Up Boo!), Oasis (Definitely Maybe), Blur (Parklife) and Supergrass (In it for the Money). I would suggest if you own and enjoy any of these mentioned items your collection would be far richer for owning all five.

Smashing, Brilliant, Not a Bag of Shite! - And a plethora of other funny British sayings!

I saw Dodgy live twice in Germany about 4 years ago and have been searching for this album ever since!

The incredible transitions and hard-hitting guitar work of this album brings a smile to my face each and every time I listen to the album. Dodgy's outlook on life, relationships and various circumstances portrayed through music is a story worth listening and relating to.

I am looking forward to adding additional Dodgy albums to my collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars Whistlestop tour of 60s for younger people, August 24, 1998

This is a terrific CD if you like noisy sixties music but haven't the time to sit and wait for the best bits. And its much better produced than most records were then! Almost-quotes of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd mix with the Beatles and other British psychedelic bands, but the whole effect is nonetheless decidedly up to date - or was when it came out!
